    No breakfast available at the hotel. We had to venture out to the village cafe.

    Purpose built village and found the layout a little confusing when driving around. Hotel room was great though, large for a family of 4. Bathroom also large with a bath tube (great as well have 2 small children). Beds are really comfortable, room was clean and well maintained. Free wifi also great! Pool is awesome, resort like feel. Loved that the pub was an easy walk. We didn't eat there as we arrived late. But we were able to grab a takeaway to have in our room. It also has a little village with shops so we were able to grab a cafe breakfast and coffee before hitting the road again. I would recommend and definately stay again. You get more bang for your buck than say staying in nearby Port.

    Flat pillows but I asked for higher, plumper pillows and housekeeping quickly provided two good pillows

    Beautiful serene location, very spacious quiet room, comfortable bed, large bath, the proximity of the Tavern for drinks and dinner, walking tracks along the river

    Would have appreciated being told that we could get breakfast at the golf club house (in walking distance to accom) as the pub next door is shut in the morning .

    Great location for us. Halfway between Sydney and Ballina and right on the river. Comfy bed and the bathroom well appointed.Pub is next door and meals were good. Love the big fireplace. Pub looking a little tired now but still very good.

    Kitchen bin was not emptied prior to our arrival. Carpet was not vacuumed (found random items eg hair pin and bottle top near lounge) and kitchen floor had a dead cockroach; wasn’t swept clean. Dishwasher had dishes inside, apparently clean but an unpleasant smell was present. We didn’t use any of the items inside the dishwasher. Left it as is. No complimentary detergent in the kitchen was provided for dishwashing. The showers leak at the bottom joinery. Other minor defects/issues ie one window shutter panel in back bedroom is faulty. Overall though, a nice apartment.

    Each bedroom had own ensuite, plus powder room in living area. Free Wifi. Spacious dining and living area.

    The property is beginning to age and in need of a little TLC. This did not materially affect our enjoyment of the beautiful location.

    The property was magnificently located on the banks of the Manning River in beautifully landscaped gardens. It was part of a complex including a tavern so dinner and drinks were on the doorstep. The room was large and stylishly designed with a mini garden at the back. Cleanliness and facilities were all first class.

    As always (i'm a regular) the location at that part of Harrington need to hustle Telstra to upgrade the mobile phone coverage. It is slightly better than it used to be but ,you are lucky to get two bars around there. This means that inside the rooms there is almost nothing.

    Rooms are great and the location terrific

    David who checked us into our room was dismissive and provided us with a key to an already occupied room. When we advised him he made no attempt to apologise for the inconvenience. Proactive customer facing training is required - rather than being told 'we are busy' The shower head in the bathroom (Room 14) sprays water out onto the floor which is boring
